I see (I think) Trey's angle here. Sponsors seem a little more interested when they see a show of force. The first sponsor I went after was MTI Adventurewear. The were not interested in only one boat. They wanted to sponsor a few boats at the same time. That's when I went to Chums with an idea (top secret) that worked. Once Chums came on board with the multiple team member and boat idea (see www.teamchums.com/bios ) sponsors seemed more interested. www.chums.com and hit the "refresh" button till you see us on the front page side bar. It's a shot of us finishing at Daytona in the Tybee 500. The more boats gives sponsors more "ad space" and puts more of an emphasis on size rather than performance. At the time, my resume didn't contain many 1st place finishes. Interesting point there is now with winning the N20 class in the GT 2 times, sponsors are contacting us without sending out proposals.
